PICC Duration
A PICC can generally be maintained for about 3–6 months.
It can be managed through outpatient or home care,
allowing long-term treatment without hospitalization.
Central Vein
Central veins are large veins located near the heart. Since they quickly and widely distribute blood throughout the body, they serve as important pathways for effectively delivering medicines or nutrition.
Repeated drug administration can distort veins or cause inflammation,
and if medicines leak outside the vein, complications may occur.
To prevent this, a central venous catheter is inserted
to safely carry out anti-cancer therapy.

Reduced Pain from Injections
Patients can experience less
pain and discomfort from repeated needle sticks.

Preventing Vein Irritation from Anti-Cancer Medicines
It reduces the risk of anti-cancer medicines leaking outside the vein,
which can damage surrounding tissue and muscle
or cause burning sensations and irritation.
03
Continuous Treatment Possible
Once inserted, it can be used for several weeks to months,
ensuring uninterrupted treatment.
PICC Precautions After Insertion

Do not measure blood pressure on the arm with the PICC
Make sure the PICC line does not get submerged in water
Use a waterproof sleeve or waterproof bandage when showering
If you experience any of the following symptoms,
please contact your hospital.
